NBA Free Premium Play 04/13: Boston Celtics @ Orlando Magic

  
Boston  at Orlando 
NBA - 501 Boston Celtics @ 502 Orlando Magic

Projected Line: 199 points


Boston will have Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett back for tonight's game, but still Doc Rivers will want to rotate his team and I doubt these two players will play more than 30 minutes. The Celtics are currently playing at a much faster pace than usual due to their second unit and tonight will be no exception. I expect Boston to have little problems in scoring tonight against the Magic's poor defense.
The key of this game will be what Orlando's offense will be able to do tonight. The Magic haven't been able to be consistent on offense lately, as they lack talent and they are super shorthanded. However, Coach Vaughn is giving a lot of minutes to his young players and if we look at their recent schedule, Orlando played on the road against Atlanta, Houston, San Antonio, Chicago and Cleveland, so no wonder that they had poor offensive games with this tough schedule on the road. while using a very short rotation.

For tonight's game, Orlando had 2 days off to rest and to prepare this game, after a win over the Bucks. The good news for Orlando has been their frontcourt with Nikola Vucevic and Tobias Harris attacking the basket very well, something that should be able to do once again tonight with success, as Boston's undersized frontcourt won't be able to stop them. I expect a nice edge from the Magic on offensive rebounding tonight, with that being the key for a nice number of second chance points for them in here. Orlando is also playing at a fast pace right now, so tonight's game should be indeed a fast paced contest, with both teams having success on offense. Therefore, I'll be taking the Over in here.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 501/502 Over 195 @ -110 / 1.91 on 5Dimes
